Chapter 516: Pouring Wine
After all, they were in a nightclub. Even though it was a high-end place, the people there were a mixed bunch. The two girls were smart enough to bring two bodyguards each.
Hong Kong is actually still quite chaotic these days. Things like kidnappings can often be seen in the news. They are endless.
What everyone can see is only part of the story. Some families, when really encountering such a thing, do not want others to know about their family affairs. They want to keep things quiet and pay the ransom quietly. If the parties involved do not make it public, outsiders will have no way of knowing.
For girls from well-off families, it is a wise choice to bring a bodyguard when going out.
The two girls came out to see what was new, so they sat in the booth in the lobby. The bodyguards gathered together and sat in the booth next to them.
The three of them sat down and started to order. The snacks in the nightclub definitely didn't taste as good as those from the restaurants outside. As for the drinks, Xia Zhizhi thought they were just so-so, but since they were already there, they had to order something.
The two girls, Zhu Zhu and Liu Linlin, were very excited at first. They glanced at the drink list, but soon lost interest and ordered some drinks out of politeness.
The singer on the stage was a popular female star with a nice voice. Liu Linlin liked this female star very much, but she just liked her and was not very surprised, because she had invited this female star to her house to sing birthday song on her birthday.
The nightclub was a bit noisy, but after sitting there for a while, we felt it was just so-so.
Seeing Liu Linlin resting her chin on her hand and looking bored, Zhu Zhu walked over and said, "I heard that we can play a few rounds upstairs. I brought some money with me. Shall we go upstairs and take a look?"
Liu Linlin was a little tempted, but still a little hesitant: "Gambling? I don't think it's a good idea..."
"What's wrong with that?" Zhu Zhu didn't think so. She gestured to Xia Zhizhi and said with some pride, "Sister Zhizhi plays there all the time. She's a frequent visitor there and is known as the unbeatable queen in Central!"
Xia Zhizhi did play cards often and often won.
Of course, from Xia Zhizhi's own point of view, she is not a person addicted to gambling and does not play often. She just comes here occasionally to have fun.
But for others, this person would appear in a nightclub's casino at irregular intervals every three to five days, which was quite a high frequency.
She looks pretty good now, and Hongxia Electronics is also doing very well, and has been the talk of the town recently.
When playing cards I always win and rarely lose.
Gradually, his reputation spread.
Because she often hangs out in several nightclubs in Central, she is known as the Invincible Central.
It was the first time that Xia Zhizhi knew that someone had given her this nickname. She felt very embarrassed because after all, no one would call her like that to her face.
Although he was embarrassed, he still managed to keep a straight face, acting like a martial arts master, and played with the wine glass on the table: "Oh, it's not worth it, I just played a few rounds casually, it's just my luck."
Zhu Zhu didn't believe it: "Sister Zhizhi must have some tricks, please give us some advice!"
Xia Zhizhi looked at her and said seriously, "My secret is that no matter whether I win or lose, I never play for more than two hours, and I only exchange chips once each time. Winning or losing depends on that amount. Otherwise, once you get addicted, no matter how rich you are, you won't be able to lose. I don't need to explain this, you've read a lot in the newspapers."
At that time, the gambling industry in Hong Kong had just begun to flourish, and many people lost everything they had gambling away. It is easy for people to overestimate their own perseverance. Once they are set up by others and get into trouble, they will be willing to do anything and always feel that they will be able to turn the tables.
Xia Zhizhi and Aju, both of whom are very young, built up the Xia Group in a very short period of time. To outsiders, both of them are very capable.
Capable people will be looked up to no matter where they go. Zhu Zhu's family approves of her relationship with Xia Zhizhi.
It’s a pity that Xia Zhizhi is not a man, otherwise, he could become the son-in-law that many people dream of.
Xia Zhizhi always smiles when facing little girls, and Zhu Zhu herself likes to play with her.
This was the first time that Zhu Zhu saw her so serious. The little girl had heard her parents praising the two heads of the Xia family many times at home, and she admired her very much.
Seeing this, he quickly nodded and assured: "Don't worry, Sister Zhizhi, I, I just went to see what's going on. I usually play mahjong with my mom this week, and I won't play those things!"
Liu Linlin also quickly assured: "Me too, me too, or I don't have to go!"
They both look cute, have good personalities, and speak in a soft voice. Xia Zhizhi likes them very much. Seeing how obedient they are, she nodded with satisfaction.
"It's okay. As long as you know your limits, there's nothing wrong with looking around and understanding more."
Xia Zhizhi tilted her head and called the two of them, "Let's go."
As the group stood up, they heard the crisp sound of glass falling to the ground from behind.
A female voice with a high pitch called out softly, but it was not so obvious amid the noisy dance floor.
But because I was close to them, I could still hear it clearly.
When they turned around, they saw a woman pulling at the hem of her skirt and shaking off the water droplets on it.
The woman was dressed quite fashionably, with her hair permed in the popular short curls, eyeliner drawn on, and lipstick on. In Xia Zhizhi's opinion, the makeup was a bit exaggerated, but it was the fashion at that time.
To dress like this, either she is as idle as Xia Zhi, or she attaches great importance to the occasion she attends.
The woman frowned, looked at the wine that was all over her body, and scolded with dissatisfaction.
"What are you doing? You're so clumsy that you can't even hold a cup properly. Do you know how much my skirt costs?"
Opposite the woman was a tall but thin boy with fair skin, thick hair and eyebrows, and deep facial features, giving him a mixed-race look.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." The young man felt uneasy and bowed to her to apologize. Although he was apologizing, his back was very straight, giving a feeling of being unyielding and upright.
The woman looked dissatisfied.
He was a little frightened, but said confidently, "I will compensate you, miss."
"Compensation?" The woman sneered and looked him up and down. "You are such a loser. How much money can you make in a month? Can you afford it?"
The young man looked embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth, took out a stack of neatly stacked cash from his pocket, handed it over and said, "Do you think this is enough? If not..."
Before he could finish his words, the woman knocked the money out of his hand and said angrily, "Stay away from me, you poor bastard. What can you buy with this little money?"
The boy looked embarrassed: "Then what are you going to do?"
